PaperPlay: Hand-drawn Sketches to Playable Games
Overview
Built at HackMIT 2025, winning the 2nd Place Modal Prize. PaperPlay turns hand-drawn sketches into fully playable physics-based games in real time.
How It Works
- Draw — Sketch game elements on paper (platforms, obstacles, characters)
- Scan — OpenCV processes the sketch, identifying shapes and structure
- Play — A physics engine brings the sketch to life as a playable game
- Commentary — Real-time AI narrates the gameplay for extra fun
